Official Brave F-Droid repository now available
Our new officially-supported repository allows users of the F-Droid client to install the browser and receive automatic updates without requiring Google Play.
Nice! Great to see another app available outside of Google Play Store :D
The crypto shill chromium fork backed by the homophobic dickhead with far too much money? Pass.
Like it or not crypto is the future of finance. Learn it or be left behind.
on one end, brave does seem rly good in terms of privacy but also chromium. its like building a house on uneven and loose terrain
Honestly I'm perfectly happy with Cromite but this is still good. The more F-Droid options the merrier.
Cromite use a third party repo, rather than being in the main one. And I'm hesitant to add repos for my system's security.
Do anyone has some informations or sources on Cromite's maintainer, whether cromite.org is safe to add to repos?
nice that's cool... but it's brave. do they still give their crypto to show crypto ads? lol
Not yet showing on search of F-droid
This announcement is for Brave hosting their own repository to host the Brave browser on that's compatible with F-Droid, rather than the Brave browser being added to F-Droid's official repository.
Otherwise, perhaps you meant that you did add their repo and it's still not showing up.
Ah, thank you. I've been a twit and not realised.
They are finally acting brave
Say that again.
Roll the credits boys 👏👏
Cool, fuck Brave tho
I don't use Brave, still with the more insecure Android Firefox variant (Firefox for Android is subpar in security), but I am glad Brave do want to expand here and for many users it is for sure the best option. No need to insult, whether you agree or not with them. If it is open, it is open and everything else should be secondary and for individual to choose on their own. Go Brave! Hope many more come too.
Brave's a bunch of marketing/advertising driven crypto"currency" i.e., pyramid scheme peddlers desperate for greater fools.

On a computer either use uBlock Origin-included LibreWolf for stability and privacy, Zen browser for power users, and on Android one can use Fennec; all of them Firefox derivatives.

Any Brave alternative that works on iOS?
I've installed brave on some familly iOS device because that's the best I could find at the time. But hope to find a good replacement.
How about IronFox for Android?
I am in this path too, but not for everyone. The Firefox (and variants) in Android is ok for normal browsing but would not log into highly sensitive sites nor is recommendable for many users that are not careful with settings and updates. Brave (and others privacy friendly ones), with its flaws, it is better in that arena, so recommended for them.
Also, we may not like it, but if we criticize company attempts to become financial viable, we are doing at disservice to our FOSS community. We should just point what you don't like from Brave and let our audiences decide for themselves.
Good to see more software offering an fdroid option.
There's honestly far too many that still don't offer any option outside of the Play Store.
I really wish many telegram clients and browsers like vivaldi to be on fdroid 😇
Agree
Do these fdroid app have too that crypto shit and sponsored wallpapers ?
Mainly will it work without play services ?
From the first FAQ, It's the same exact builds just distributed through a Fdroid repo.
This is great news. Brave is a great browser, block all the trash ads by default plus has many enhanced privacy features. 👍
Switched to the f-droid version, one less app that I need to pull from Aurora 😃
